An attorney who writes for National Review pointed to an outrageously unconstitutional rule in Colorado. If he wants to log into the court e-filing system, he has to agree not to cooperate with federal authorities in enforcing federal immigration law. However, because of his obligation to his clients and his not practicing immigration law, he signed on.
This is the real insurrection, and people need to be arrested.
Attorney Spier writes:
“And yet because I cannot log into the State’s official e-filing system without saluting The Resistance, I now cannot represent my clients, file lawsuits, access cases, file documents in existing cases, etc. If I click “Decline,” it kicks me out of the system. I must click “Accept” to access the system and continue representing my civil clients — again, in cases that have absolutely nothing to do with immigration law or policy.
“I’ve read SB 25-276 (the law referred to below). It does not regulate me as a private attorney or any of the clients I represent in civil matters. This is outrageous, draconian overreach. I have ethical obligations to my clients to represent them competently.
“My existing cases have running deadlines that I must attend to. Judges issue orders in my cases that I must follow. If I don’t click “Accept” in order to access the State’s e-filing system, I will harm my clients, torpedo my practice, and probably commit malpractice. So, I have no choice. “
The law is no longer blind. It’s communist.
